When your car refuses to accept you | Arkansas Democrat Gazette

When your car refuses to unlock, a parking lot mix-up reveals how easily identical models can fool even a careful driver. The author tries the key fob at a fitness center, but the doors won’t unlock; beeps occur yet no entry. After multiple attempts, the writer notices the temporary tag on a nearby car and realizes the vehicle in question isn't hers. The real car, parked a row away, beeps when the fob is used and its trunk pops open. The narrative then reflects on the author’s history of owning unconventional cars and notes that the Toyota Corolla, a hybrid, is the best-selling model with over 50 million sold since 1966.
